[Asterisk-Users] Queue / Agent Problem

[Ben Merrills]

Is anyone planning on patching chan_agent.c to reflect the new transfer
method (using the patch linked below)? 

I had a stab at it, but my c skills are next to none :)

Cheers,

Ben Merrills

Check out bug 2460.  It adds attended transfers via '#'.  

http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0002460

Also, your agents could place the call on hold, call the person 
they are going to transfer the call to, announce the call, 
hangup, pickup the original call, then transfer via '#'.  It 
may sound complicated, but it works pretty well for us, and it 
allows the person recieving the transfer to let it go to 
voicemail or choose to answer it.

(Also, posted to the bug tracker.)

Hope this helps,
